I don't think you should not count anything. The important thing to remember is that the only person to be fooled is you and you already know you ate the banana, so why hide it?

Been using it since 2/1 and love it. It tracks my steps, the stairs I climb, calories burned and uploads all this to fitbit.com. You can configure fitbit.com to transfer its data over her to MFP. It shows up in your exercise log as Fitbit Adjustment and it varies, depending on the amount of exercise you put in. Search the…

If you're committed to losing weight, don't focus on the short term. When you start an exercise program after not being on one for awhile, or ever, your body will start to convert fat into muscle and this could result in a slight increase. However, if you stick to proper eating and exercise, you will see pounds coming off…

My opinion is that your body needs to absorb a certain amount of calories to exist at an acceptable level each day. I usually stay below my adjusted MFP calorie goal for the day. If you're looking to lose weight fast, don't eat them back and you'll get there. However, if you're making a lifestyle change where you'll be…

Mine was building for awhile. I'm a 59 year old male with two grown children. One of them will be married two years this June. I guess I'm hoping for grandkids and I definitely want to be able to play with them, not just look at them whenever they do come. I never rated obese. Rather, I've been the the upper range of the…

I'm convinced that if I start giving up the things that I like, that I'll become miserable. A healthy lifestyle but being miserable is not a path to happiness. I agree with those who've posted that they eat/drink what they like but in moderation. It's the totality of what we eat and how we exercise that matters. And, to…

There are so many good fruits available now that I don't think it's necessary to try those you know you don't like. You said you like grapefruit. Well, have an orange occasionally. The texture is basically the same but a bit sweeter. Try clementines sometime. Personally, I think God made clementines to give us all a nice…

If you're in it for the long haul, you've got to allow yourself to splurge once in awhile. I, however, strongly believe that you must still record those splurged calories and not simply take a total day off. That's defeating the purpose of MFP. What I've also found is that the longer I stick to the program and eat…

Stop weighing yourself so much, you're going to drive yourself crazy. If you're going to stick with WW, use that as your weekly weigh-in and stop doing it at home. Every scale is different, even within the same brand, and atmospheric conditions affect how a scale will work. The progress over time is what really matters and…

It's like a really tight clothespin. You just clip it onto whatever article of clothing feels right for you. It won't come off. For sleep, put it into the supplied wristband and wear it that way.

Does anyone understand the "Fitbit Calorie Adjustment" made each day in MFP? I spent about 5 hours yesterday building a fence. When I looked this morning on Fitbit.com, it showed I had burned 2,995 calories yesterday based solely on Fitbit. Yet, when I checked yesterday's MFP exercise log, the Fitbit Calories Adjustment…

I have one and love it, too. I also echo about only logging on MFP. I've had it just about one month now and I'm still getting used to it's logging. It seems that it takes everything I've done the day before (i.e., up through and including last night's sleep) and sends the calorie adjustment to MFP. I can also look at the…
